He is the ultimate renaisance man. As a model, Ngo Okafor has graced the pages and covers of countless magazines and has been called the most downloaded black male model. He has worked with international superstars such as Gisele Bundchen, Mary J. Blige and Lil’ Kim. As an actor he has worked on numerous TV shows, movies and Soap operas. On screen, Ngo has worked with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Accademy award winner, Monique and Bridget Moynahan. As a boxer, he is a back-to-back, two-time Golden Gloves Champion.
He has been called one of the
quickest studies the boxing world has ever seen, a powerful yet graceful
presence in the ring and one of the quickest studies the fight world has ever
seen. Within three years of beginning his career in 2005, Ngoli Onyeka Okafor,
became a two-time heavyweight champion, winning back-to-back Golden Gloves,
amateur boxing’s highest distinction. His accomplishments are even more
impressive when one considers Ngo’s background. Raised in the Ibo speaking
region of Nigeria, the second child of a Harvard academic and a teacher, sports
were frowned upon in his house; brains were always valued over brawn. “My dad
used to say athletes are like jesters in a kings court,” recalls Ngo, whose
name means joy in Ibo. “I’ve always appreciated the value of a good education,
but him saying that used to really piss me off, because I felt like I could
have both.” He attended the University of Connecticut in the US and studied
computer science, eventually landing a job with the Connecticut Department of
Transportation, where he taught engineers and architects how to draw using
computers. “I’ve always loved computers and there’s a part of me that will
always be a bit of a nerd,” says Ngo. “But I also knew that I was naturally
athletic and I wanted to see where that side would take me. I was curious to
see if I could play at the highest level.”
He accidentally stumbled into boxing
five years ago, at the ripe old age of 31 (around the time when most fighters
hang up their gloves). What began as a simple workout routine (punching the
bag, jumping rope, etc) quickly grew into an all-consuming passion for Ngo,
who, at the urging of several fashion photographers, had relocated to New York
City to pursue modeling. Professional fighters who watched him sparring noticed
his innate talent and encouraged him to develop his skill. With the fierce
dedication he’s applied to his work throughout his life, he immersed himself in
the ring, training five to six hours a day…every day. “Boxing became my life,”
he says. “I wanted to be one of the best that ever did it. I started later than
most fighters, so I know I had to make up for lost time.”
After winning the Golden Gloves by
unanimous decision in 2008 and 2009, Ngo, never one to rest on his laurels,
turned his sites towards modeling and acting. With his boyish good looks,
chiseled physique and quiet intensity, he was a natural. Over the years, he’s
posed with supermodels like Gisele Bundchen (V Magazine) and superstars like
Mary J. Blige (MAC Cosmetic’s Viva Glam campaign). He’s appeared in more than a
dozen issues of Men’s Health Magazine, has produced two best-selling calendars
and has been featured in publications ranging from Vogue and W to ESPN and
Fortune.
Most recently, he was celebrated
alongside five Olympians in the Spring issue of the Wall Street Journal
Magazine. As a result of all of his efforts, he is now considered to be the
most downloaded black male model in the world. Ngo’s acting career is also
taking off. His television work has included stints on soap operas and TV
series. Ngo just wrapped work on a feature film titled “True Story”, opposite
JAmes Franco and Jonah Hill, which opens in theaters in 2014. Ngo is currently
at work on, “Three Rounds”, a feature-length documentary, which chronicles his
journey from Nigeria to the top of the boxing world. “I really want the film to
inspire people to dream big and work hard,” says Ngo. “That’s always been my
mantra and so far so good.”They say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the
juice. I can only imagine what Broderick Hunter tastes like. Those are some
calories I don’t mind burning ;) He is one fine looking man. SLURP. The second
I saw his gorgeous lips, I knew I had to feature him for my weekly Model
Behavior series. I’m sure you’ll agree after eying his work.
